"Similar in form and spirit" - 'crime' in the case of fake replacement: murdering a girl

"Forbrydelsens element" / "The Element of Crime"

Director: Lars von Trier
Screenwriter: Lars von Trier/Niels Vorsel


One of the subtitles of the film is
with a series of
'lottery tickets' girls Murdered about...

Not far from dead
ex-
specialist
Osborne [Esmond Knight; a cast member in Michael Powell's 'wicked' UK film Peeping Tom

in 1960 ] book "The Element " of Crime> guides the hero Fisher [Michael Elphick] to imitate (think/action all approach) 'possible' criminals: Harry Grey 's everything... in order to speculate who the next victim will be?... 'Where would the murder take place? ' After multiple visits (murder scene, background of the deceased, some signs/symbols, possible culprit: Harry Grey's girlfriend/child, etc.)... Fisher suspects that the next murder will take place in the city Halle (according to "H "hint)... in Halle... an old man





















(Grandfather) [Preben Lerdorff Rye; a former actor in Carl-Theodor

Dreyer's Vredens Dag [Day of Wrath, 1943] and Ordet
[The Word, 1955]]
allows Fisher to use his Granddaughter to
lure out a
possible 'criminal': Harry Grey
'criminal' again...

......Fisher and the little girl came to an empty house with wine bottles on the floor...

heard the sound of wine bottles.. ..

a 'shadow' approaching...

Fisher suspects
Harry Grey
has approached him and the little girl...

the little girl is getting 'nervous'...

Fisher wants to take out a handkerchief to wipe the little girl's 'scared' tears...

...the sudden appearance of the talisman... (almost every murder scene... has a
talisman left behind...)

The little girl "can't be sure" Fisher is Harry Grey?...

the little girl
Want to 'scream' because of 'fear'?
〈---〉
But Fisher was afraid the little girl would make a sound (scared about the arrest of Harry Grey), so he had already grabbed the little

girl by the throat
and 'nervously' 'suffocated' the little girl And die...
(paradoxically, Harry Grey has been dead for years!)

==> Fisher is finally part of the 'criminal'!

After being overly 'imagined'/'hypnotized'/induced...
Fisher becomes 'Harry Grey' 'stand-in'!

Or say: Fisher 's 'criminal psychology/behavior' process analysis + virtual Harry Grey's 'criminal' methods/steps, etc.

in the memorization manual/book------... in the ethereal and Under the closed time and space... through the 'subconscious mind'---unconsciously repeating the process or case of Harry Grey's murder of the little girl! ---> Unnatural but unavoidable 'criminal'... [A comment suggests that Fisher's handling of the little girl in the film was influenced by Carl-Theodor Dreyer's Vampyr (1931) --- may also be similar to Fritz Lang's "M"---Serial killer kills 'little girls'...] The 'mud yellow' tone of the movie and the ubiquitous 'wet', water (gas), etc. make another sub-theme in the movie: sex ( Mainly sexy Kim [played by MeMe Lai] and Fisher's mutual 'needs') and evil/crime-laden... even the 'empty' detective (Fisher)...in the 'quagmire'/psych Inside the trap... "Can you not commit a crime"? ...... "The way to eradicate sin, ......, work hard from the heart, in order to achieve the liberation of the state of mind, the mind is empty, the state is empty, the state is from the mind, the mind can arise from the state, eccentric and no state, leave the state No mind, the state is the mind, the mind is the state,






























The state of mind is the same; the

state is nothing

but good and
evil,
right and wrong, good and
bad,
bitter and happy,
reputation,
merit
and demerit, and since this is the

case, the emptiness of the mind

is the emptiness of the state .
